I wrote another story over at Daily Dot:
Kristian Fiskerstrand’s sks-keyservers.net tracks the status and statistics of over 80 keyservers around the world. According his data, new keys were being added at around 500 keys per day at the beginning of June. On June 5, The Guardian began publishing Snowden’s leaks. Today, between 1,500 and 1,600 new keys are being added every day.
